1. On the following day Aguirre went from Burburata to his camp, and began his march to Valencia, by very rough roads indeed, at times being obliged to go on hands and feet in climbing the mountains. The laden horses suffered particularly, they had to lighten their burdens, and, as the country was a very hot one, their difficulties were increased. So Aguirre ordered the soldiers to take the baggage which the animals could not carry, independently of their provisions and knapsacks; and he also obliged some of his captains, and the principal persons of his party, to take a portion of the baggage which the animals had been unable to carry. Aguirre himself took more than his share, marching amongst the men, and crossing deep openings in the hilly ground, where the horses had to be unladen to pass; and, in passing the artillery, they all had to assist, so great were the difficulties they had to suffer. They were eight days going from Burburata to Valencia, which brought a sickness upon Aguirre, in consequence of the weight of the things he carried, and the horrid state of the road.
